Already have powerful ambassadors, but they aren't on the Avelon Network yet? You can easily invite them to the platform with bulk invites and personalized signup pages, thus helping them quickly join your Avelon program.
Thanks to Avelon, you can promote your goods through hundreds of the most influential magazines and websites in the sports industry. This is a chance to reach a total of about 800 million people across the globe every month.
Simple, uncluttered analytics dashboard? Checked! With Avelon, you can learn at any time who drives you the most sales, where your commissions go, and much more, all without wasting hours studying sophisticated spreadsheets.
You don't have to process payments manually and your partners will never receive their rewards late, because Avelon pays out commissions for you. Moreover, you're free to choose your commission rates and the payment currency.
Avelon's team has prepared large knowledge bases, brand guides, and training videos that don't just answer questions. These resources will also show how to get the most out of the platform while enjoying it to the fullest.
The first partnership you'll establish in the Avelon Network is with its support team. Avelon has an individual approach to each client, which is why you'll first have to meet with its representative and agree on your custom cooperation terms. You can schedule a call with Avelon by filling out a short contact form on their website.
Once you've sorted everything out, Avelon's experts will then quickly create an advertiser account for you and email you a link to access it. Use this link to log in to the platform and change the temporary account password to a new secure one.
Next, give your account some attention and configure several things in it. Those include adding a payment profile, setting default commission, and connecting conversion tracking to your store. Don't be intimidated by the last task: it's not as difficult as you think. Avelon has prepared a Shopify app that automatically integrates a snippet of tracking code into your site. Thus, you can simply install this app, give it your account ID, and let it do all the tech work for you.
Finally, you'll need a product feed. It's a file where publishers will find information about your items. The best and simplest way to get one is also with the help of a Shopify app. We recommend using Mulwi, as it already has a ready-made Avelon feed template. You just tell what products should be included and watch our tool to handle the rest. Convenient, right? If necessary, you can customize the template so that it better reflects your brand style.
If you make a feed using Mulwi, you'll receive both a feed file and a constant URL to it. Connect the feed to Avelon via this URL — and then, whenever the platform asks for a feed, Mulwi will automatically take the latest data from your Shopify catalog, generate an updated feed, and send Avelon this fresh file. After all, your affiliates should only ever see your current offers.
Congratulations, you are fully ready for networking! Sure, you can now sit out and wait for some publishers to reach you, but this passive strategy won't get you very far. Instead, we encourage you to browse the affiliates catalog and invite the ones you like to your program yourself.
In case you have any questions or problems with product feeds, write to us and we'll come to your aid. We can solve all your feed-related issues and even build you a personal feed free of charge.
